Thanks to our wonderful donors, RMP has won an extra $1,000 from EWB-USA for receiving the greatest number of individual donations during a week of the year-end campaign for a second year in a row.
RMP held it's first Garden Gala for Guatemala fundraiser this October. It was a well attended get-together for folks in the community to see how their local chapter of EWB is helping provide water to a special village in Guatemala. We provided food, drinks and information about the project. Participants enjoyed a diverse raffle, booze pull, photo booth and an opportunity to learn about how they could help another person get water. We were able to earn about $2000 for RMP through this event! It was a fun afternoon and a great way to make a difference!
RMP has been working hard the last few months designing a water system for a community in rural Guatemala. Water is something that we take for granted here in the US and is a great need in a lot of places.
Join us for a casual backyard party to raise money for EWB-RMP’s Guatemalan water project!
When you breakdown the numbers, it costs $20 to provide one person water. $20! We are asking for folks to come and give one person access to water. In return, you get food, beer and a fun afternoon.
We will have information about the community, slide shows about our recent trips, folks to tell you how you can get involved, silent auction, a booze pull and more. The location is: 270 S. 39th Street, Boulder.
If a $20 suggested donation isn't in your budget right now. Thats ok! Please come learn about our cause and support in any way you can. Bring a friend or many friends! All ages are welcome.

RMP is very excited to announce that we are beginning a new program in the Ixil Region in the highlands of Guatemala! The new program will join our continuing Nepal program and allow RMP to help engineer change in a new part of the world.
Following a Nepal travel ban set by the University of Colorado, the EWB-CU chapter was not allowed to implement a spring they designed at Karka Dhara. RMP worked closely with the students to implement Karka Dhara on their behalf.
RMP recently conducted an assessment trip to collect design-level data for a future project in Ilam, Nepal. Catch up on the highlights from the trip here!
EWB-RMP member Jon Monson conducted an interview with the Green City Women's Group (GCWG) based in Ilam, Nepal during some rare downtime on the RMP assessment trip. The women's group was formed in June 2013 as a response to the Ilam Green City designation the year before by the government of Nepal. The Green City Women's Group is a highly successful and active public improvements group run by and for the women of the community of Ilam. In addition to creating green spaces throughout the municipality of Ilam, the group has focused on raising awareness of women, especially in the areas of waste management, kitchen gardens, sanitation and hygiene, improved cook stoves to reduce indoor air pollution (a major environmental health concern for women and children), and strengthening local organizations of women.
